Minimum Wage Reduction

By Resolve HR Admin

Following today's decision to reduce the Minimum Wage rate to €7.65. The Government has signalled that the ERO and REA rates should be reviewed. In particular the Catering, Retail and Hotel sectors should see their hourly rates of pay reduced to match the new minimum wage. Particularly in light of the ongoing legal challenge to the ERO system. However given the delays in implementing recent decreases in the Construction REA rates, the onus is now on the bodies representing employers to ensure these changes happen quickly!!
